|
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Developed a general purpose
computer program for computational fluid dynamics
- Unstructured solution-adaptive
grids have been applied to a wide variety of problems including
aircraft, turbomachinery, automobiles, internal combustion
engines, missiles, parachutes, etc.

COMMERCIALIZATION
- Commercialized as
the product RAMPANT™
- Well over $1M worth
of licenses for RAMPANT™ have been sold
- Creare created
a new software company, Fluent Inc., to market RAMPANT™ and
several other CFD software products that were developed, in
part, with NASA SBIR funding; technology migrated to other
Fluent products
- Fluent currently
employs over 700 people and reported an annual revenue of nearly
$122M in 2005; ANSYS acquiring Fluent in 2006 for $565M

GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- Solution of fluid flow problems
and the design of flight vehicles using physical models that
address turbulent flows, heat transfer, compressible mixing,
chemical reaction, and flows with strong shocks
